Re: Struggling Pacer Roy Hibbert expects to live up to $58M deal, surpass Dwight Howard as top center

I wish Roy Hibbert was as good as Jermaine O'neal was his first 7 years as a Pacer, people knock JO but aside from being injury prone he was a FAR BETTER player than Roy WILL EVER BE.

JO went to more All Star games than any other Pacer NBA player including Reggie. I get sick of people knocking JO as never backing up his words. He produced 20ppg , 10rebounds and over 2 blocks per game on average for 6 straight years 2002-07. Everyone knocks his fade away jumper and low field goal % he never shot below 43.4% in any of those years.

JO is so unappreciated by Pacer fans it is unreal. Let me know when Roy earns the right to be compared to JO because he sure hasn't yet. After JO signed his huge contract his overall game did not regress as Roy's has. Injuries eventually are what robbed JO of his game.

Roy will never be mentioned in the same breathe as the top NBA players . Roy is what he is a slightly above average NBA player making max money. Inside JO could finish with either hand, Roy is 3 inches taller and seldom even dunks his rebounds preferring to toss them up and hope the 38% fg pct bares that out
